If a Business Process (BP) could not send a message to a customer on WhatsApp because the number does not have the messenger — the BP can send an SMS. To do this, set up the BP to send an SMS when a 405 error occured. How to do it:
1. Go to “Settings” → “Automation” → “CRM Settings”.
2. Click “Automation” → “Business Processes” on the left.
3. Select the entity with which the business process will work: lead, contact, deal, company, etc.
In our example, this is “Deal” → “➕ Add Template”.
4. Check the “When added” checkbox under “Autorun” → go to the “Variables” tab and click “Add Variable”.
5. Fill in the two lines in the expanded window: “Name” and “ID”. You can enter any values in Latin. Leave the variable type as String:
Click “OK” and then “Save”.

7. Press the gear on the created action. The “Activity Parameters” window will open:
8. Customize the activity as instructed and add a message that will go to the user.
When a new deal is created, the Business Process will start. If the recipient does not have WhatsApp on the number, Wazzup will return an error 405 to Bitrix, there will be a note with its description in the Workflow log:
9. Click on the triangle between the Wazzup activity and the “End” → “Other” → “Set variables” button:
